What Causes A Feeling Of Shakiness, Burning Hunger And Weakness In The Limbs?
Hi. Lately I ve been getting weird sensations (temporary) of weakness in arms and legs, shakiness, burning hunger, and anxiety. Also, my vision will go darker. I can tell that to feel better I have to eat something, usually something specific (like a sever craving). In the past it s mostly been cinnamon rolls and bananas, but not always. These symptoms come on quickly and I can tell when it starts to build. Any idea what this is or is it just nothing?

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to early signs of gastritis or diedenal uncler disease though other systemic infections onset like enteric fever can sometimes present like this.
You need to use OTC analgesics like acetaminophen alongwith antacids like omerperazole before meals alongside motility agents like domperidone for symptomatic relief.
Keep fever record and see if sensations persist and correlation with hunger pangs of cravings persists, in that case baseline blood workup with complete blood counts and inflammatory markers is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
